Description

Thirty years ago this month, the United States and the Soviet Union co-sponsored the Madrid Peace Conference, an unprecedented event that brought together all of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict. This conference launched Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Syrian peace negotiations, as well as multilateral working groups that tackled regional issues, while also laying the groundwork for the Israel-Jordan peace treaty brokered by the Clinton administration in 1994.

American University’s School of International Service (SIS) and the Center for Israel Studies (CIS) are pleased to host a special event commemorating the Madrid Peace Conference, featuring three expert panelists with decades of experience in Arab-Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking.

Speakers include: Hanan Ashrawi, former spokesperson of the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace process; Yossi Beilin, former Israeli minister of justice and founder of the Geneva Initiative; and Daniel Kurtzer, former US ambassador to Israel and Egypt. SIS professor Guy Ziv will moderate the discussion.
